SURELY THE VERNON.


The finding of the pilot house of the
propeller Vernon by tug near Manito-
woe, Wis. settles all doubt regarding
the Identity of the lost boat. Scarcely
any other traces of the cargo have been
seen to-day and nothing has been heard
of those on board. 1t is feared that not
a single soul of the thirty Ormore aboard
is left to tell the story of
the disaster. A fOrlorn hope is
entertained that a passing vessel may
have picked up some of the unfortu-
mates, but, with the terrible sea that
was running, 1t would have been almost
a miracle to accomplish a rescue. The
captain of the life-Saving crew at Two
Rivers, Wis, describes the storm as the
worst ever seen by him on the lake, the
waves rising to the height of thirty OF
forty feet. The first information re-
ceived by him was from this
mornings papers, although the
wreck is supposed to have
taken place within seven miles of Two
Rivers. 1t is his impression that no one
has survived the wreck. 1t was bitterly
cold on the lake, he said, land a person
could not have stood the exposure over
night. The spray dashing over the men
clinging to the wreckage must have
frozen as it fell and completely encased
the unfortunates, if, indeed, they held
Oh long enough to permit such thing.
My impression is that they are all at the
bottom of the lake" Neither at Mani
towoc nor at Two Rivers were any

A Chinese Theatre Orchestra.

The orchestra is usually composed OF
seven musicians, who sit at the back OF
the stage and play without much inter.
mission from the beginning to the end OF
the performance. The leading instru-
,nents are the fiddle, the cymbals, the
gong and the drum. The fiddle tyran-
nizes over the rest of the music, and rises
superior even to the clash of the cymbals.
It has only single string, and the notes
evolved from it pierce the ear like knife.
The man that performs upon the fiddle
alternatcs with the cymbals, while his
next neighbor beats, in rhythmical meas
ure, on huge brazen gong which is pen
dent from the ceiling. The other per
formers play upon drums, one of metal
and the other of polished wood. The
music is said to bear striking rcsem-
blance to that of the Egyptians. 1t is all
in the minor key, and from distance it
has weird and melancholy sound. Heard
near at hand, however, it has a tendency
to produce headache and to rasp the
nerves.

Mexican Scorpions.

The most common pests in Mexico are
the alcarans or scorpions, for during Ger
tain seasons of the year they are as nu-
merous as flies around sugar house.
They are within the cracks of the wall,
between bricks of the tiles of the floor,
hiding inside your garments, darting
everywhere with inconceivable rapidity
their tails which sting, ready to fly up
with dangerous effect upon the slightest
provocation. Turn up corner of the
rug or table spread and you disturb q
fourishing colony of them; shake your
shoes in the morning, and out they flop;
throw your bath sponge into the water,
and half dozen Of them dart out of its
cool depths, into which they had wiggled
for siesta; in short, every article you
touch must be treated like dose of med
icine-'sto be well shaken before taken.
The average scorpion is mahogany-h
and about two inches long; but I have
seen them as long as five inches. The
small, yellowish variety are considered
most dangerous, and their bite is most
apprehended at midday. In Durango
they are black and so alarmingly numer-
ous-having been allowed to breed for
centuries in the deserted mines-that the
Government offers a reward per head Tor
rather per taiD to whoever will kill them.
Their sting is seldom fatal, but it is more
or less severe, according to the state of
the system. Victims have been known
to remain for days in convulsions, foam
ing at the mouth, with stomach swelled
as in dropsy; while others do not suffer
much more than from bee sting. The
common remedies are brandy, taken in
sufficient quantities to stupefy the, pa
tient, ammonia, administered both exter-
nally and internally, boiled silk and qua.
iacum. It is also of use to press large
key or other tube on the wound to force
out part of the poison.--Boston Tran

How to Win.

The temperance reform is no longer the
inspiration Of the few. We have passed
through the stages of ridicule, indiffer-
ence and contempt, and we have gone
forward into the era of study, research,
and investigation and close contact with
the enemy, where conviction ripens into
action. Intcmpcrance is now seen to
be the great curse and crime of the
age, the "sum of all villanies," the
gigantic crime of crimes, that must be
put under the feet of the nation, or our
country will sink under the accumulated
load of this curse. And so we must agi-
tate, we must educate, we must lcgislate,
we must consecrate. We must pray as
if all depended upon God, and work as
if all depended upon ourselves, and the
victory will surely come.--Aduocate.

RELIGIOUS READING.
BRINGING Sheaves.

Bringing sheaves.
Ewes that oftentimes are fearful,
Looking for LIES meaning true.
Hearts as often faint and fearful
For the good ye strive to do
Thus an angel In my dreaming
Whispered for the soul that grieves;
Glands that fail to human seeming
Oft bring home the richest sheaves."
Not alone the weak one sinneth
Who has faltered in the way;
Not alone the strong man winneth
In the radiant blaze Of day;
Gods clear vision, searching slowly
Flower and Fl uitage mid the leaves,
Sees how oft His children lowly
Bend beneath the richest sheaves.
Waiting while the sunrise only
Lights the brows Of reapers dead,
Toiling through the sunsets lonely,
We may still be comforted;
Like the flower diffusing sweetness
When we crush its tender leaves,
So from pain We find completeness
In the beauty Of our sheaves.
Ye whose earthly mission seemeth
But to suffer-not to do,
Love from stain and dross redeemeth
Every life with purpose true.
And the smile. CT heaven fingers
Longest round the soul that grieves,
While the fail and patient fingers
Oft bring home the richest sheaves.

The Human MelOde0n.

First let the leader, or the organist
(who should be somewhat of musician),
select, to represent the notes of the scale,
eight girls or boys, who must be sufti-
ciently musical to sing and to remember
the notes assigned to them. The organist
playes on their heads as they kneel in q
row, exactly as if they were the notes of
piano, except that to the audience, the
scale appears reversed. But this is to
have it in the right order for the organ
ist The tunes selected must obviously
be in the key of G, with no sharps or flats.
As each head is struck with the mallet,
the person indicated must sing his or her
note in a short staccato way, using the
syllable la. If the head is struck twice
the note must be repeated in exactly the
same way. The hymn tune "Antioch" Is
an excellent one with which to begin.
The. organist strikes the head of upper G
at the right, then B, then A, then quickly
G, then F E, D, G, then G, A, A again,
B, B again, C, and so on. For con-
venience, as the cards bearing the letters
face the audience, not the organist, the
tunes can be written in the human melo-
deon notation. Instead of the notes, are
written the names of the performers-Sue,
Hatty, Jane, Sally, Tom, Frank, Mary,
George, or whatever they are. "The
Last Rose of Summer" beginning on
lower c, rig jig jig on G, and "Hush
My Dear Lie Still and Slumber," on D,
can also be played. The simple sounds
already described represent the vox hui
mana stops. The tremolo is made by
striking the mouth rapidly two or three
times with the open hand as the note is
sung.-St. Nicholas.

TEMPERANCE.
As Sure as the Tides.

Fortune and friends and all things fair,
Held with never such pride and care,.
VIII slip from his grasp like grains Of sand,
IF be hold cup in the other hand.
All that Is lovely and good will flee,
As sure as the tides 60 out to sea-
Ruin will come by sure degrees,
Sorrow and pain, and foul disease
Will palsy the hand to its finger-tips,
Renaorse vii in the the years 70 be
As sure as the tides come in from sea.
Wnecks Of fair hopes will strew life's shore,
Passions like wreckers still lure on more,
For the wakened fiend will not be still
Till it shadows reason and shrivels will,
Till despair as constant guest abides,
As sure, aye as sure, as the ocean tides.

Steam on Both Wheels.

It requires two wheels to propel fer
ry-boat. If one is clogged, the boat
simply revolvcs in the water without
progress. Every cart needs two wheels,
and if one is cut off the cart capsizes.
Our temperance reform depends for its
success on both legal suppression of dram
shops and on moral and religious efforts
to dissuade people from drinking liquor.
If either wheel is off, the boat capsizes.
Push on the temperance meeting.
Push on the temperance literature in
every shape. Push on the pledges of en-
tire abstinence. Push on the fight for
prohibition at the same time. Let the
steam on both wheels! We want law
and love also; persuasion not to drink
liquor as we'll as prohibition of selling
liquor. Shutting of saloons is not all;
we must smash the jugs also.-Theodme

WORDS OF WISDOM.

Thought is invisible nature-nature Is
invisible thought. -
Unless the habit leads to happiness, the
best habit is to contract none. a,ss 4.
The noontide sun is dark, and music
discord, when the heart is low. -
Pleasure is the flower that fades; re-
membrance is the lasting perfume.
Pleasure must first have the warrant
that it is without sin; then, the measure,
that it is without excess. ''-; :,
You find yourself refreshed by the
presence of cheerful people. Why not
make earnest effort to confer that pleasure
on others2 --..
There cannot be a more worthy i'm
provement of friendship than in a fervent
opposition to the sins of those whom We
profess to love. ~ 4g:&
Every generous illusion adds a wrinkle
in vanishing. Experience is the success
sive disenchantment of the things of life.
It is reason enriched by the spoils of the
heart. 80.
Homes are like harps, of which one is
finely carved and bright with gliding, but
ill-tuned, and jarring the air with its dis
cords; while another is old and plain and
worn, but from its cords float strains that
are feast of music.
Learn from the earliest days to inure
your principles against the perils of ridi-
cule; you can no more exercise your rea-
son if you live in the constant dread of
laughter than you can enjoy your life if
you are in the constant terror of death.
In ourselves, rather than in material
nature, lie the true source and life of the
good and beautiful. The human soul is
the sun which diffuses light on every side,
investing creation with its lovely hues,
and calling forth the poetic element that
lies hidden in every existing thing. =
Our powers are limited. No one ever
saw the whole of anything, however.
simple it may appear; and the more COM
plex the object, the smaller the fraction
that we behold. If we'but realize this
fully it will 60 far toward dispelling
prejudice and broadening our outlook.

A REcEN, London paper publishes
what purports to be a Thibetan lamss
explanation of the reason why his
countrymen and co-religionists shut the
gates of their country against Euro
pean missionaries. "They say" re-
marked the lama of his people, "that
Europeans have good religion which
they do not generally practice, and yet
wish to force on others whose religion
is as good and is practiced. The Eu-
ropeans are believed to be full
of greed: for, living in a rich
country. they always acquire other
countries, and, while they talk of their
benevolent purposes. they destroy
animal life every day for their own
food, thus becoming clouded in calm
intellect and in the perception of true
morality. They also think their re-
ligion, language, and customs the best.
If we were to think so of ours, it would
be considered by us deviation from
the path. Among the nine rules for
conduct We are directed never to sup
pose, much less to say, that our re-
igion is the best, considering that sim
cere men of other religions are deeply
attached to them, and, on that account,
do good to others. ALI We can do ID
also to do good and not to criticise the
good of Others"

In the Cleveland Common Pleas

Court, William Fulton, q wealthy
farmer, sued for divorce from his wife.
Three years ago he was married to his
present wife, and, barring honey.
moon of three months, he says he has
had to Jump around lively ever since.
Mrs. Fulton's attorney questioned the
husband, and the following interesting
"bull" story was brought out, amidst
great laughter: @Now," asked the
lawyer, didn't you keep a ferocious
bull to scare your wife with?" II kept
a BULL" responded FELTON,, "but I had
to. I could not sell him; he was cross;
but I never thought of using him to
jcare my wife" what did you keep
him for?" well, used him as sort
of bank, or rather I made him guar
dian of my private papers. Nothing
was safe about the house, and I couldn't
keep q thing from my wife. All my
personal papers I tied up and put them
in the bulls manger, q little ways
above his head. They we're pretty se-
cure there, as it wasn't safe for any
one on the farm except myself to 60
near the animal. Mrs. Fulton threat
ened continually to burn the house,
and I insured it, being determined to
save myself from loss. The insurance
papers were taken care of by the bull
in the same manner. He was pretty
handy bull

Temperance Notes.

A little four-year-old, being told that
"W stood for whisky" said: "Well, tut

1t is estimated that New York City
consumes annually 5000, 900 barrels of
beer at cost of s3s, 4Oo,O
"Any man who opposes the sale of in
toxicants in the saloon, and yet buys
wines, ales and brandies for his own ta-
BILE, is playing into the hands of the en-
emy," says Theodore L. Cuyler.
Liquor selling must be made to appear
as the most heinous crime, says Demorest,
and we want no compromise with the
crime any more than we want to justify
stealing or highway robbery.
Mr.. G.. R. Sims, revisiting the scenes
of his former articles on ''Horrible Lon
don," finds that religion and temperance
have stepped in and taken tighter grip
of the masses. In several slums the great
bulk of the people are now pledged ab-
staincrs, and their aspect and manners
appreciably improved.
In Pasadena, CAL, the W. G. T. o.
made certain bar-kecper the subject of
special prayer. Attracted by the singing
and open-air exercises the man became
interested and within o week was con-
verted. He at once sought new and
better business, and gave the first five
dollars earned in it toward the erection
of church in the town.
Two samples of whisky were lately
purchased in Worcester, Mass, the Spy
says, at the instigation of local clergy

from enc of the lowest dives in town.
Both, the report says, were alike vile,
and so near alike that only an expert
could distinguish one from the other.
